The damage inflicted on our lives by trauma is serious and long lasting.It’s not a simple “emotional experience”. Trauma causes damage to our physical bodies, too. Our nervous systems are damaged by it, and even immune function and cognitive function can be affected.

That’s not to say that you will avoid these feelings entirely, but you can give yourself a positive footing as you move through the natural processes of trauma recovery.

In this episode, I'll help you to explore the tips and techniques that can help you manage the worst of the depression and anxiety spirals post-trauma.

What we're talking about: 

• What trauma really looks like
• Why we're pushed into rumination
• How to minimize the impact of trauma
